Heather, I Know

Johnny L.

I’m not trying to be your parents

I’m sure they’ve said these things before

I don’t think I’ve got the answers

At least that’s one thing of which I’m sure of

I’m not trying to be your boyfriend

I know that’s one thing you don’t need now

So don’t get the wrong impression

I just want to help you, but I don’t know exactly how

Heather, I know

It seems like the world only notices you

When you don’t want it to

Heather I know
Seems like the weight of all the world

Is on your shoulders

And Heather it seems

That you’re alone in all of your dreams

But Heather I know, it’s really not that way

Maybe I’m being nosy

But the look on your face says you need a friend

Maybe it’s none of my business

But talk to me now and the world won’t end

It’s true that there’s nothing worse than

Someone who volunteers advice

And true: I don’t even know

I might have misjudged you

But I think that I’ve got you right

And Heather it seems

That you’re the only one who has dreams

But Heather I know, it’s really not that way
